Chris Smalling

Like Romero, was enjoying an uneventful evening until CSKA struck on the verge of half-time to blight an otherwise decent 45 minutes. 6

Daley Blind

Has been struggling for form since pre-season and does not look like regaining it. Off the pace before he allowed CSKA in to go 1-0 up. 5

Luke Shaw

Almost scored and should have assisted Marcus Rashford before he was caught out for the goal which tainted an otherwise encouraging display. 8

Paul Pogba

Kept up the tempo on the ball and assisted Romelu Lukaku’s volley magnificently. Transformed the game with one pass and will be missed on Sunday. 8

Ander Herrera

Disciplined and urgent but did not really effect the game when United were at their attacking best during the game. Came off ahead of a possible derby start. 6

Juan Mata

Acted as a fine conduit between the defence and front two and he offered some outrageous crowdpleasing moments. 7

Marcus Rashford

Should have scored in the opening stages but his slight mis-hit struck the post. Finished much more cleanly in the second-half. 7

Romelu Lukaku

Started superbly and his hold-up play outside the box was his best since he moved to the club. Scored superbly and did great for Rashford’s goal. 8
